Last year I had the opportunity to photograph my friend Kari and her collection of tattoos that included fairy wings that cover a large portion of her back. Shortly after that session she mentioned that she would soon be adding to her collection of body art. The piece is finally finished. It is large and…

The Fuji X100S In The Studio
For this series of photos I wanted to play off of the vintage coat and glasses by having the images look more like film photos and not digital photos. Keeping with the “vintage” theme I decided to take the photos with my X100S by Fujifilm and not the Canon 5D MKII, which is what I normally shoot…
lottadjossou Paris
Paris has some great little shops and lots of artists if you know where to find them or just stumble upon them while exploring the little neighborhood streets. While wandering not far from our apartment we came across this lovely little jewelry shop called lottadjossou Paris where the designer Clément Djossou creates his designs. His designs are…
Curious Bike Man
Today we did some more walking in one of the many interesting neighborhoods of Paris. As we were exiting the rue des Rosiers after partaking in one of the districts famous falafels, we ran smack dap into the “curious bike man” of Le Marais. He was an odd but very cool dude with the most…

Eyes Exposed
I noticed my friend Kelsey sitting there leaning against the wall with her scarf wrapped around her head leaving just her eyes exposed. The simplicity of seeing only her eyes drew me in and I knew I had to capture this moment. I grabbed my camera and a Speedlite and said “DON’T MOVE!” Kelsey is…
Step over to the other side
I’m comfortable behind the camera but on the rare occasion I step over to the other side, I become the subject of the photo. I try to remember all of the things that I tell people to do or not to do when I’m behind the camera. Lighting setup, choosing the right equipment, directing the…
